I'm totally thrilled to announce the arrival of my first grandchild from my daughter Lauren and her husband Johnny.

Lucia Annabelle Smith arrived at 3.02pm (GMT) Sunday 26th May 2019 weighing in at 7lb 12oz.

Congrats and welcome to the Grandpa Club!

I assume you've held her already.

Once again Jim congratulations. Best wishes to the parents and you and the Missus.

Time to enjoy.

Congratulations Jim! My best to the couple, and of course Lucia Annabelle

Thanks guys.

@Steve: About three hours ago and I'll readily admit that was an experience I'll never forget.

There I was, no Sh.... uh this really happened.

I was sitting in my car with an almost 7 year old granddaughter and an almost 4 year granddaughter. We were waiting for their grandmother (The Frau) to come out of a store. They each had a lollypop to amuse themselves with and I was just waiting.

Well the 7 year old loves to boss the 4 year old around. You see she is much older and more experienced.

The 4 year old, evidently was trying to chew her lollypop. So the 7 year old says, as only a 7 year old can.

"No, don't bite it, put it in your mouth and suck it!"

"No! Don't use your teeth, use your tongue and lick it!"

Being 7 years old, naturally she had to say this in a very loud voice and repeat it about a thousand times.

There I was. Sitting in the front seat, telling myself

"Do not smile, do not smirk, do not laugh. Do not respond in any way what so ever."

It was painful.

That's what it is like being a grandfather.
